Two years ago, ALS instructional manager, Ms. Geeree D. Camporazo got only 6 passers in the Accreditation and Equivalency Test (A&E) of Alternative Learning System (ALS) of the Department of Education. Then last year, she got 9 passers.

Now this year, she was very proud of having 13 passers out of 20 of her ALS learners who took the A & E Test conducted on October 13, 2013. Overall she got 65% passers so far. That is good enough. One of the elementary passers she had was our granddaughter, Princess Camporazo.

Geeree, our youngest daughter, is in her third year of teaching as IM. She is conducting her classes every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday at the hall of Barangay 3, La Carlota City. She teaches her learners of the learning competencies which consist of the five learning strands of the ALS Curriculum. These learners are representing the out-of-school youth (OSY) and some married mothers.
